Can anyone tell me where to get parts to make my own feeders? I would love to find the flower heads to put on the tips of spouts. Any info would be great. Diane.

Hey Gene. Best food for attracting woodpeckers is suet with nuts, fruit, berries or seeds – they love it!

Hi Peter,
My base will be 12″ x 14.25″… it’a a 3/4″ thick of lumber I have. I’ll add a lip. I want to use it to attract birds like woodpeckers. I’m going to suspend it from a sheperd hook hanger I have in my back yard. What type of food should I use?
Thank you,
Gene.

Hi Peter. I respect anyone who contributes to feeding wildlife. We have taken away their habitat, the least we can do is ease their search for food. I have 3 feeders up, it started with chickadees, blue jays and doves only to mention a few. Now we have 3 deer, 2 racoons, a family of squirils, 1 mink and a martin. I am seriously thinking of claiming all of them as dependents on my tax form. My location is east coast Nova Scotia.

Comment on How to Squirrel Proof Your Bird Feeder by Steve

I put a squirrel feeder on a tree about 25 feet away from the bird feeder. As long as there are peanuts in the squirrel feeder they don’t go to the bird feeder too much. Now I need to racoon-proof the squirrel feeder!

I like to make my own hummingbird feeders out of recycled materials. Here’s a link to directions on making one out of a soda bottle. http://blog.newenglandbirdhouse.com/?p=448

This morning when I refilled my hummer feeder, the sugar water immediately dripped and then ran out. This is a glass bottle with glass tube type feeder. The stopper is a soft plastic. I tried removing and wiping the stopper, but no luck, suddenly it will not hold the liquid. I’ve never had this problem. Any ideas?

Is there any chance you could give us a printable version of these plans?
